LSIV (Large Scale Image Velocimetry), a technique of image analysis on velocity measurement, was applied to a hydraulic model experiment of river confluence. The surface velocities measured by using LSIV showed similar results with the mean velocities by using a traditional velocimeter, While a general velocimeter can measure only local point velocity, LSIV can measure whole velocity field with one shot. When it is applied to river confluence or around a bridge pier where local flow is dominant, LSIV may be a powerful tool to measure velocity field.

Many highway bridges in Korea need seismic retrofit because only one decade has passed since the seismic design criteria was introduced. For the highway bridges of which bearings are worn and dysfunctional, the validity of seismic retrofit method using laminated rubber bearings was discussed in this study. Real scale RC pier specimens without seismic details were constructed. And then, Pot bearing, Rubber bearing (RB), Lead-rubber bearing (LRB) were applied to these specimens. Through pseudo dynamic test method, dynamic behavior of these RC piers under earthquake was simulated and compared. From the test results, proposed seismic retrofit method was found to be valid.

A reliable concrete constitutive material model is critical for an accurate numerical analysis simulation of reinforced concrete structures under extreme dynamic loadings including impact or blast. However, the formulation of concrete material model is challenging and entails numerous input parameters that must be obtained through experimentation. This paper presents a damage scale analytical model to characterize concrete material for its pre- and post-peak behavior. To formulate the damage scale model, statistical regression and finite element analysis models were developed leveraging twenty existing experimental data sets on concrete compressive strength. Subsequently, the proposed damage scale analytical model was implemented in the finite element analysis simulation of a reinforced concrete pier subjected to vehicle impact loading and the response were compared to available field test data to validate its accuracy. Field test and FEA results were in good agreement. The proposed analytical model was able to reliably predict the concrete behavior including its post-peak softening in the descending branch of the stress-strain curve. The proposed model also resulted in drastic reduction of number of input parameters required for LS-DYNA concrete material models.

본 연구는 교각의 국부 세굴심 추정 공식들의 정확성과 적용성을 분석하고, 현장 상황에 적합한 공식을 선정하기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위해 비교적 널리 알려진 26개의 세굴심 추정 공식들을 선정하였다. 이들 선정된 공식들을 미 지질조사국에서 작성한 교각 세굴 데이터베이스(BSDMS)에 수록된 493개 교각 세굴 측정값들 중에 246개의 측정값들에 적용하여 각 공식들의 우열을 검토하였다. 각 공식들을 이용하여 계산한 세굴심과 측정 세굴심을 비교하여 각 자료별 불일치율을 계산하였다. 계산된 불일치율을 통계 처리하여 불일치율의 기하 평균과 기하 표준편차를 구하여, 각 공식의 우수성과 적용성을 검토하였다. 또한, 각 공식들을 구성하는 주요 변수들을 분석하고, 각 변수의 변화에 따라 세굴심 추정치가 어떻게 변화하는가를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 모든 공식들의 불일치율의 기하 평균이 1보다 상당히 큰 것을 보여주고 있다. 즉, 모든 공식들이 실측치보다 세굴심을 과대 추정한다는 의미이다. 정확성의 면에서 보면 불일치율의 기하 평균이 1에 가깝고 기하 표준편차가 작은 공식들이 우수한 공식들이다. 이런 점에서 CSU (HEC-18) 공식, Chitale 공식과 Larras 공식, Hancu 공식 등이 차례로 우수한 공식으로 들 수 있다. 연구 결과는 또한 기존의 여러 연구에서 좋은 결과를 보인 Froeclich 공식이 세굴심을 대체적으로 과소 추정하는 경향이 있음을 보여 주었다.

국부세굴은 수공구조물 주변에서의 국부적인 흐름변화가 그 원인이라 할 수 있으며 이러한 변화는 교각 또는 교대의 하상재료를 굴착하여 이동시키는 침식작용의 결과이다. 이러한 교량의 교각 또는 교대, 그리고 교각을 지지하는 구조물에서 발생하는 국부세굴은 교량의 수명과 안정성에 좋지 않은 영향을 미쳐 재산상의 피해를 줄뿐만 아니라 교량 붕괴 사태 등으로 인한 대형 인명사고를 초래하는 원인이 될 수도 있다. 따라서 국부세굴의 경향을 예측하고 분석하는 것은 교량 구조물이나 수중 구조물의 설계에 있어서 매우 중요한 과업이다. 이러한 국부세굴을 예측하고 분석하는데 있어서 국내에서는 일정한 흐름조건에 대한 최종세굴심을 예측하는데 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 하지만 국부세굴은 하상재료에 따라 세굴이 진행되는 속도가 다르며 세굴의 진행은 시간 의존적인데 반해 국내에서의 국부세굴의 예측과 분석은 최종세굴심 산정에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보다 실질적이고 경제적인 국부세굴 경향을 예측할 수 있도록 다양한 하상재료에 대한 시간에 따른 세굴 변화의 특성을 파악하고 분석하였다. 이를 위해 하상재료에 따라 수리실험을 실시하였고, 이를 통해 하상재료에 따른 세굴심의 시간적 변화 곡선을 구하였다. 이렇게 구한 하상재료에 따른 세굴심의 시간적 변화 곡선을 통해 하상재료별 평형세굴심 산정하였고, 산정한 평형세굴심과 기존 세굴심 산정공식을 이용하여 입자별 세굴심을 산정하여 비교 분석하였다.

This paper introduces a shape memory alloy-restrainer-damper(SMA-RD) to protect multiple span continuous steel bridges from seismic loads. The type of bridges has only one fixed bearing condition on a pier and expansion bearings are located on the other piers and abutments. Due to this state and a big mass of the deck, these bridges are usually very vulnerable to column's damage on which fixed bearings are located and large deformation of abutments in passive action. Two types of SMA-RDs are developed, and their effect is inspected for protecting the bridges through seismic analyses. Conventional steel restrainer cables are also used to reduce the seismic vulnerability of the bridge and the results are compared to those of the SMA-RDs.

기초세굴에 따른 교각에서의 1차 모드 고유진동수 변화를 이용하여 교량 세굴 건전성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 공용중인 광탄1교의 T형 교각 1기에 대하여 충격진동실험을 수행하였으며, 교축직각방향의 1차 모드 고유진동수를 수치해석결과와 비교하였다. 교량 상부구조물의 모델링 방법에 따라 상부구조물을 전체 모델링한 방법과 교각만을 모델링하고 상부구조물의 영향범위를 가정하여 교량받침 위치에 질점질량으로 변환하여 적용한 방법으로 구분하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 상부구조물을 전체 모델링한 경우와 집중하중 형태로 상부구조물을 모델링한 경우 모두 고유진동수는 충격진동실험결과와 큰 차이를 보였다. 충격진동실험을 통해 얻은 고유진동수는 교각의 국부적인 진동수로 사료되는 반면, 수치해석을 통해 구한 결과는 교량 상부와 하부의 Coupling 효과가 반영된 시스템 전체의 고유진동수이기 때문에 결과의 큰 편차가 생기는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 충격진동실험에서 구한 고유치 양상을 올바로 구현하기 위한 모델링을 찾기 위해서는 새로운 접근 방법이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper introduces a innovative diamond wire saw cutting technology and its experimental verification that can be utilized for cutting heavy structures. While conventional diamond wire saw cutting technologies such as water cooled cutting method and dry cutting method cause severe environmental problems due to generating massive concrete sludge or dust scattering, the proposed method can eliminate those problems considerably. Through extensive experiments using heavy structure test bed and real bridge pier structure, comprehensive analysis and comparative evaluation about various cutting methods were performed. As a result, the innovative diamond wire saw cutting method could achieve a similar cutting and cooling performance to the water cooled cutting method without generating concrete sludge and it showed an improved cutting and cooling performance to the dry cutting method without dust scattering. Consequently it is confirmed that the suggested cutting technology can be a promising environment-friendly alternative in the field of heavy structure dismantling.

Precast reinforced concrete bridge columns with hollow rectangular section were tested under cyclic lateral load with constant axial force to investigate its seismic performance. After all the precast column segments were erected, longitudinal reinforcement was inserted in the sheath prefabricated in the segments, which were then mortar grouted. Main variables of the test series were column aspect ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, amount of lateral reinforcement, and location of segment joints. The aspect ratios were 4.5 and 2.5, and the longitudinal steel ratios were 1.15% and 3.07%. The amount of lateral reinforcement were 95%, 55%, 50%, and 27% of the minimum amount for full ductility design requirements in the Korean Bridge Design Code. The locations of segment joints in plastic hinge region were 0.5 and 1.0 times of the section depth from the bottom column end. The test results of cracking and failure mode, axial-flexural strength, lateral load-displacement relationship, and displacement ductility are presented. Then, safety of the ductility demand based seismic design in the Korean Bridge Design Code is discussed. The column specimens showed larger ductility than expected, because buckling of longitudinal reinforcing bar was prevented due to confinement developed not only by transverse steel but also by sheath and infilling mortar.

This research calculated the scour depth of bridge according to inflow and outflow changes of stream's flood discharge and curves by applying scour depth formula for piers and abutments, and by comparing and examining them, evaluated the applicability of scour depth formulas. Overall, if the angles of flood discharge and inflow and outflow increase, the deviation rate of scour depth in bight increased. Especially the deviation rate was 58% at the inflow and outflow angle of $105^{\circ}$ that the bridge plan for this geography need careful examination. Next, as a result of calculating the deviation rate of scour depth at the bight by scour depth formulas, in case of pier, Andru formula showed 58% deviation rate, Laursen formula showed 26% deviation rate, and CSU. formula showed 17% deviation rate. In the case of abutment, Froehlich formula shows 44% deviation rate that when applying above scour depth formulas, scour depth calculation considering repairable characteristics of bight is necessary. Finally, about inflow and outflow angles of $45^{\circ}{\sim}135^{\circ}$ that showed big deviation rate of scour depth, this research performed regression analysis of deviation rates of scour depth due to flood discharge to suggest the regression formula.
